Defending Against Cyber Threats in the Smart Healthcare Ecosystem

This book offers a practical guide to securing smart IoT-based healthcare devices against Cyberthreats with hands-on tools, threat modelling, risk scoring, and AI-enhanced defences. Healthcare is undergoing rapid digital transformation, with smart IoT devices from wearable monitors to implantable sensors integrated deeply into patient care and hospital workflows.While these innovations improve efficiency and outcomes, they also introduce new and severe cyber threats.Attackers now exploit vulnerabilities in IoT firmware, protocols, and networks, leading to risks that threaten patient safety, privacy, and trust.This book provides a practical, cyber-threat-focused guide to securing healthcare IoT environments.Unlike existing titles that emphasize general healthcare IT or clinical applications of AI, this volume focuses squarely on the cybersecurity challenges of IoT medical systems and shows how AI techniques can be leveraged to target and mitigate these threats.The chapters progress logi
